Sources for the Paderborn region

There were two sources that I used to assign villages to subdivisions:

Neue europäische Staats- und Reisegeographie … – Google Books, volume 8, by Johann Gottfried Haymanns, published in 1755, and

Geschichte des Bisthums Paderborn – Google Books, volume 2, by Georg Joseph Bessen, published in 1820.

The two volumes are highly consistent with one another, but Bessen lists more villages (not all of which I included). Neither, however, assigns villages to the subdivisions of Küchenamt Neuhaus. The source I used to assign villages to Gografiat Salzkotten was Gografiat Salzkotten – GenWiki (genealogy.net). Otherwise, GenWiki was highly consistent with the two sources cited above. For the remaining subdivisions of Küchenamt Neuhaus, I included only the villages named in the Wikipedia article on the Unterwaldischer Distrikt (which is not necessarily exhaustive, although only the Neuenbeken subdivision could plausibly have been larger). That practice eliminated Gografiat Paderborn, which was mentioned in some sources, but not in that Wikipedia article.

Wikipedia also provides a useful map of the subdivisions here: FBPB Paderborn administration komplett – Hochstift Paderborn – Wikipedia. Furthermore, the Wikipedia article on Samtamt Oldenburg provided useful information on how sovereignty is split between Paderborn and Lippe in Samtamt Stoppelberg. Finally, the archives of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia provided detailed information on the makeup of the Kreise created by the Prussians in 1803 (Willkommen beim Portal der Archive in NRW).
